Question:

Im trying to decide if I need to buy the Trailer Valet XL or if a less expensive trailer dolly would work just as well to help maneuver my travel trailer. The trailer is about 4,500. I plan on using it on a level surface to park the trailer when not in use. Thanks for your help!

For a travel trailer weighing 4,500 pounds, I recommend going with the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL2. The Trailer Valet XL is going to offer much better support for the tongue weight of your trailer than a standard trailer dolly.

The Trailer Valet XL has a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 pounds and a gross trailer weight capacity of 10,000 pounds, so it will work well with your travel trailer. I've attached a review video of the Trailer Valet XL for you.

A traditional trailer dolly such as the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly # RA20 is great for moving around smaller trailers, but they aren't as well suited to accommodating somewhat larger travel trailers such as yours.
